Propeller believed to belong to first World War submarine recovered in Cork harbour

A propeller thought to belong to a first World War submarine used to mine Cork harbour has been recovered from the sea for preservation.

How Dublin City Council’s new anti-migrant councillors will complicate the business of local governmentThe recovery operation involved Blackwater SAC and Mizen Archaeology, supported by the National Monuments Service, the National Museum of Ireland and German embassy officials. At that time, there were also indications that damage had been caused by salvagers attempting to remove one of its propellers, although it was not clear if that was the same propeller.

The UC-42 sank in 30 metres of water, following what is believed to have been an explosion of a mine on-board. “The UC-42 wreck is a significant part of our underwater cultural heritage and the final resting place of the German crew who were on board,” said Minister of State for Heritage Malcolm Noonan. “It remains incumbent on us all to ensure we respect their remains.”
